| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large broadaxe at the center of the field, its blade extending outward to touch the inner rim of the coin's border, conveying a bold and assertive design. A pointing hand (manicula) is placed at the lower portion of the field, directing attention to the letter J at the commencement of the surrounding legend. The peripheral legend reads J. CUT. MY. WAY. THROUGH., referencing Dr. Samuel Higley's occupation as an ironmaster. The coarse, hand-engraved execution is consistent with other known examples of the Higley copper series. |
